Hipstamatic + iPhone 4 = Broken

Hipstamatic tests on the iPhone 4

For those of us who secretly (or not so secretly) love the Hipstamatic app on the iPhone [iTunes link] and upgraded to the newly released iPhone 4, we were sad to discover that the current version is laced with oddities and a crash or two.

There was some debate as to what was going on, so I decided to take it upon myself to dig deeper and get down to what the potential causes are.

The company behind the app, Synthetic Corp., just released a new photo booth app, IncrediBooth [iTunes link], to simulate the bar-o-liscious photo booths people tend to get drunk and make out in.  Now you can do it all with the front facing iPhone 4 camera in your own living room.

It seems that their energy was spent creating this new app instead of updating Hipstamatic to be iPhone 4 and iOS 4 compliant.

I go into great detail into how I debugged the current issues of using Hipstamatic on the new iPhone 4 on my blog:
